Why do ice cubes always float at the top of a glass of water?

Physics
2 answers:
AnnZ [28]3 years ago

Because water is a very very very very very unusual substance ... It's
the only known substance whose solid form is less dense than its liquid
form near the same temperature.

In other words, water is the only known substance for which a solid lump
of it floats in a liquid glass of it.

If that were not true ... if the behavior of the density of water around its
freezing temperature were the same as the density of all other known
substances ... then life on Earth would be impossible.

Think about that for a while !  Ya gotta admire whoever it was that designed water !

What's a difference between mercury and oxygen?<br> (They both are elements)
borishaifa [10]

--  There are 80 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Mercury,
but only 8 of them in the nucleus of an atom of Oxygen.

-- Mercury must be warmer than 357°C in order to boil, but Oxygen
must only be warmer than -183°C.

--  Mercury must be colder than -39°C in order to freeze, but Oxygen
must be colder than -219°C.

--  Oxygen is required for human life.  Mercury is a deadly poison.

what is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun? express your answer in newtons.
Alborosie

The gravitational force the sun experiences from the earth is 3.48×10²²N, which is exactly the same as the force the sun experiences from the earth.

  • Gravity is a force that develops as a result of the attraction between mass-containing objects. The mass of the object has a direct relationship to the strength of this attraction. r equals the separation of two objects.

F = G (M₁M₂)/r²

Where, F  the gravitational force

G=6.67×10⁻¹¹Nm²kg⁻² gravitational constant

M₁=5.98×10²⁴kg  mass of earth

M₂= 1.99×10³⁰ kg the mass of the sun

r =15×10¹⁰ m is the distance between sun and earth

Putting all the values in above equation,

F = 6.67×10⁻¹¹Nm²kg⁻²(5.98×10²⁴kg 1.99×10³⁰ kg)/15×10¹⁰ m

On solving the above equation we get,

F = 3.48×10²²N

A helium balloon has a radius of 2m. The density of helium of helium is 0.17 kg/m3 and the density of air is 1.25 kg/m3. What is
3241004551 [841]

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the force on each of the elements. For this it will be necessary to obtain the mass, which can be related to density and volume. Finally, by balancing forces it will be possible to obtain the final value of the maximum mass that can be lifted.

By Newton's second law we have,

F = mg

Here,

g = Gravitational acceleration

m = mass

At the same time mass can be described as,

m_1 = \rho \times V

m_1 = (1.25)\times \frac{4}{3} (2)^2

Therefore the Force 1 is,

F = m_1 g

F = \frac{40\pi }{3} (9.8)

F = 410.501N

Applying the same concepto but for the second mass we have,

m_2 = \rho \times V

m_2 = (0.17) \times \frac{3}{4} \pi 2^2

m_2 = 5.697kg

Now by equilibrium we have,

W + mg = F

m = \frac{F+W}{g}

m = \frac{410.501-55.828}{9.8}

m = 36.19kg

Therefore the maximum mass lift by balloon is 36.19kg

A particle oscillates in simple harmonic motion, with amplitude A and period T. The particle starts from position x = A. What is
frozen [14]

Answer:

i guess it is D because,

y = A sin(wt)

w = \frac{2\pi }{T} and t = 3T/ 2

now, Y = A sin ( \frac{2\pi }{T} X \frac{3T}{2})

so, Y = 0radian
